FRIZZY = best described as hair that looks like actress & comedienne Maya Rudolph’s.Hair is usually straight at the crown and as it gets longer becomes wavy. The wave pattern stretches into “S” shaped curls that are medium-to-less defined and hair doesn’t bounce. To bring definition to frizzy hair, try Uncle Funky’s Daughter SuperCurl Miracle ($29, unclefunkysdaughter.com) which detangles, stretches and defines curls while it adds all-too-necessary moisture.

PLENTY ‘O VOLUME =UFD describes hair like actress Rachel True’s as stretched, loose, loopy “S” curls, bouncy medium ringlets and tight corkscrew (size of a straw) curls. Hair has plenty of volume. If you have no choice but to wash your hair every couple of days, then try something like DevaCurl’s Low-Poo Cleanser($18.95, devashansalon.com). It’s a low-lather (only about 5%) shampoo that gently removes dirt and styling products that weigh hair down without stripping hair of it’s moisture.

TIGHTLY COILED = the singer Shingai Shoniwais the epitome of this hair type.While some curls in this category appear in tight ‘Z’ formations, others have no visible curl pattern, are coarse, densely packed, fragile hair that looks dry, but is, in fact, moisturized. To get and keep your hair super soft and manageable, use Nexxus Humectress Moisturizing Conditioner($24.99, walgreens.com).
